Yohana 12
1 Ivi tanne hi ni vi u gan rugran'a (Idin ketere) Yesu ye ni Baitaya ni bubu wa Lazarus ahe'a, uwa Yesu a tawu shime rju ni be.
Then Jesus, six days before the passover came into Bethany, where Lazarus, whom Jesus raised from the dead, was,
2 U ba tie birli wu ni ki u Marta ahe ni ndasi nno ba birli, u Lazarus ahe ni ba nda kakru ni tebur u rli ni Yesu.
Then they made a supper for Him there: and Martha was serving; and Lazarus was one of those sitting at the table with Him.
3 U Maryamu ka ban turare nard, nda nyuu za Yesu niwu nda se za Yesu ni nfutu ma. U turare ka vra whi shu ni koh'a wawu.
Then Mary taking a pound of myrrh of spikenard, estimated very valuable, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odor of the myrrh.
4 Yahuda Iskariyoti, iri nimi almajere ma, wa ani kawu le, a tre,
Then Judas Iscariot, one of His disciples, the one about to betray Him, says:
5 “Ahi ngyeri mba sa ba na le ni tulare dinari dari tra na ka ga bi na?”
Why was not this myrrh sold for three hundred denaria, and given to the poor?
6 A tre naki ana ndi ahe niwu mi sron ma na, a wa'a ndahi ndji u yibi. A wawuyi ni zi imbu nklen'a, nda ni son ybi ni mi.
And He spoke this, not because there was a care to him for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the purse, and was carrying those things cast in.
7 Yesu tre, bika chowo ni ndu ka kpye wa ahe wu'a zi ni fi wa baka rju me'a.
Then Jesus said, Let her alone; she hath reserved this unto the day of my burial;
8 Biya ba he ni yi ko ni tanyi u me mi na he niyi chachuwu na.
for you have the poor always with you; but you have not me always.
9 U gbugbu Yahudawa ba wo andi Yesu a he ni kii u ba ye, ana nitu Yesu ni nkrji megyen na, baye son to Lazarus ngame wa Yesu tawu shime ni khwu'a.
then a great multitude of the Jews came not only on account of Jesus, but that they might see Lazarus, whom He raised from the dead; because he was there.
10 U Firistoci bi ni kon, baka ka'nyu kabi nda wa nkon u wu'u Lazarus ngame.
But the chief priest passed an edict that they would also slay Lazarus;
11 Nitu ma yi wa Yahudawa gbugbuwu ba ka kpa nyeme ni Yesu.
because through him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.
12 Ni vi rima indji gbugbuwu ba ye ni gan. Ni wa ba wo ndi Yesu ni ye ni Urushalima,
On the following day a great multitude having come to the feast, hearing that Jesus comes into Jerusalem,
13 u ba vu ihran dabino nda rju ni gbu nda hi kpawu nda ni yo gbangban me nda ni tre, “Hosanna! Lulu ahi wu Indji wa ani ye ni mi nde Bachi, Ichu Israila.
They took the branches of the palm-trees, and went out to meet Him, and continued to cry out, Hosanna: blessed is He that cometh, in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel.
14 Yesu a ka fe ivren jaki (Aholaki), nda hon nitu ma, towa ba ngha'a,
And Jesus, having found a young donkey, sat upon him, as has been written,
15 “Na ti sissri na, Ivrenwa Sihiyona, yayi, ngye Ichu ni ye, a son nitu vren jaki.”
Fear not, daughter of Zion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting upon the colt of a donkey.
16 Almajere ma bana to tu mana ni mumla, ni kogon wa ba gbyre Yesu san, baka tika, andi ba nha nda ni he to kima, u ba ti ba ni wu na kima.
But His disciples at first did not understand these things: but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written in reference to Him, and they did them to Him.
17 Ij'bu ndji ba a hla ndi bana he niwu niwa a yo Lazarus rju ni mi be nda tawu shime ni khwu na.
Then the multitude being with Him witnessed that He called Lazarus out of the sepulcher, and raised him from the dead.
18 Nitu kima, gbugbu indji ba ye ni ndu ba same niwu nitu wa ati gban (alama) yi.
Therefore the multitude also went to meet Him, because they heard that He had wrought this miracle.
19 Ni naki, se Farisawa bari bubu tre ni kpa mba andi, “Yayi, bi heni kpe u tina bi to, gbugbulu,'a ba hu wawu ye.
Then the Pharisees said to one another, You see, that you are prevailing as to nothing: behold, the world has gone away after Him.
20 Indji bi Helinawa bari ni mi bi wa ba hi ni sujada u idin.
And there was certain Greeks of those having come up that they might worship at the feast:
21 Ba ki ba hi ni Filibu, igu u betsa ida wa ahe ni Galili, u ba tre niwu, “Mala, ki sun to Yesu.
then they came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and requested him, saying, Sir, we wish to see Jesus.
22 Filibu ahi na ka hla ni Andarawus, u Andarawus ba hi mba Filibu, u ba hla ni Yesu.
Philip comes and tells Andrew: Andrew and Philip go, and speak to Jesus.
23 Yesu hla bawu, “Inton tsra ye wa ba shu ngbarju ni Vren Ndji.
And Jesus responds to them, saying, The hour has come, that the Son of man may be glorified.
24 Njanji, njanji, mi si hla yiwu, iwolo alkama ni ta na joku ni meme na kwu na, ani he ni ngrjima, u ani ta kwu, ani ti wolo gbugbuwu.
Truly, truly, I say unto you, Unless the grain of wheat having fallen into the ground may die, it remains alone; but if it may die, it produces much fruit.
25 Indji wa ani son ivri ma, ani wa wu hama, u indji wa ana son ivri ma na ni ngbungblu yi ani kiyaye wu nitu ivri ma u tuntru. (aiōnios g166)
The one loving his soul shall lose it; but the one that hateth his soul in this world will preserve it unto eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
26 Indrjori nita ni shu ngbarju nimu, wa ka hume, ko ni ntsen wa mi he'a, ni mu igran ni sun. Indji wa a shu ngbarju nimu, Iti ni no ninkon.
If any one may minister unto me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall my minister be: if any one may minister unto me, the Father will honor him.
27 Zizan isron mu he ni mi mmren, u mi tre ngye? Iti u kpa me chuwo ni ton yi? Ani to kima yi me ye ni ton yi.
Now my soul is troubled; and what do I say? Father, save me from this hour. But on this account I came to this hour.
28 Iti, shu ngburju ni tume.” U lantre ri ni tre, “Me shu ngbarju niwu, mila shu ngbarju niwu ngari.
Father, glorify thy name. Then a voice came from heaven, I have indeed glorified thee, and will glorify thee again.
29 U indji biwa ba ki na kima bawo lantre, na tre ahi zan bari ba ri ba tre ahi “Maleka mba tre niwu.”
Then the multitudes standing, hearing, said, That it was thunder; others said, An angel has spoken to Him.
30 Yesu tre, “Andi lan tre yi na ye nitu mu na, a nitu mbi.”
Jesus responded and said, This voice was not on account of me, but on account of you.
31 Zizan ba tron ni gbungblu'a: zizan ba zu Indji wa ani nji gbunglu'a.
Now is the judgment of this world: now the prince of this world shall be cast out.
32 U me, ba ta ba me lu ni gbunbglu'a, Mi gbron indji wawu ye ni kpamu.”
And if I may be lifted up from the earth, I will draw all men towards me.
33 A hla wayi ni tu iri kwu wa ani kwu'a.
And He spoke this, signifying by what death He was about to die.
34 Ijubu indji ba lu tre, “Ki wo ni mi tronandi Almasihu ni son hi ni tuntru. A nihe u tre, ba zun Vren Indji? Ahi nha mba hi Vren Ndji'a?” (aiōn g165)
Then the multitude responded to Him; We have heard from the law that Christ abideth forever; and how do You say, That it behooveth the Son of man to be lifted up? who is this Son of man? (aiōn g165)
35 Yesu hla bawu, “Zizan ni vi ton tsa me bi son ni ikpan. Bika zren ni kpan tu ka ari he ni yi ri, na ndu bu'u dun mren yi na. Indji wa ani zren ni mi bu'u'a ana to wurji u hi na.
Then Jesus said to them, Yet a little while the light is with you. Walk about as you have the light, in order that the darkness may not overtake you: and he that walketh about in darkness does not know where he is going.
36 Bi kpa nyeme ni kpan tu wa ri he ni yi ri ni ndu kati imri ikpan.” Yesu hla tre biyi ri na ri tuma ni bawu.
While you have the light, believe in the light, in order that you may be the sons of light. And Jesus spoke these things, and having gone out was hidden from them.
37 Ko naki me Yesu ti gban bi babran ni shishi mba, ni naki me bana kpa nyeme niwu na.
And He having done so many miracles in their presence, they were not believing on Him,
38 Nitu itre Anabi Ishaya a a shu, wa a hla, “Bachi, ahi nha a kpa nyeme ni tre mbu? Ani nha iwo Bachi a hla tu ma?”
in order that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke, Lord, who hath believed our report? And to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?
39 Nitu kima ba na kpa nyeme na, ni wa Ishaya ala tre andi,
Wherefore were they not able to believe, because Isaiah again said,
40 A ka ba tibi fyen, na lo sron gbangban me, ni ndu bana to ni shishi mba na. Naki nato toma ni mi sron mba, na k'ma ye ni me ni ndu mi den ba.
He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; in order that they may not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and turn, and I shall heal them.
41 Ishaya hla kpi biyi ni wa a to ko shishi u shu ngbarju ni Yesu.
Isaiah said these things, because he saw His glory; and spoke concerning Him.
42 Ni naki me, gbugbuwu bakpa nyeme ni Yesu ni mi bi ninkon'a. U nitu Farisawa, bana ya hla wu rju ni rira na, ni ndu ba na zu ba rju ni mi Majamiya na.
Nevertheless indeed many of the rulers also believed on Him; but they were not confessing Him on account of the Pharisees, in order that they might not be put out of the synagogues:
43 Ba son gbre san u indji zan gbre san wa ani rji ni Rji.
for they loved the glory of the people more than the glory of God.
44 Yesu tre gban gban me, na hla, indji wa a kpa nyeme ni me, ana me yi a kpa nyeme ni me kankle mu na, a kpa nyeme ni indji wa a ton me'a.
But Jesus cried out and said; The one believing on me, believes not on me, but on Him that sent me,
45 Ngari indji wa asi to me, asi to Indji wa a ton me.
and the one seeing me, sees the one that sent me.
46 Ime mi ye nitu ikpan ni gbungblu'a, ni indji wa a kpa nyeme ni me a na zren ni mi bu'u na.
I have come a light into the world, in order that every one believing on me may not abide in darkness.
47 Indji wa awo tre mu nda na kpa nyeme na, mina hukunta ni wu na. Mina ye nitu hukunta indji na; ni ndu me kpa gbungblu'a chuwo.
And if any one may hear my words, and not keep them, I do not judge him: for I came not that I may judge the world, but that I may save the world.
48 Indji wa a kama ni me, na kama kpa tre mu, indji ri he wa ni hukunta niwu ilan wa mi tre ni hukunta niwu ni chachu kekle.
He that rejects me, and receiving not my words, has one judging him: the word which I have spoken, it will judge him in the last day.
49 Mi na tutu mu na, a Ti'a wa a ton Me, wa a yo Me ni ndu mi hla ni tre.
Because I have not spoken of Myself; but the Father Himself having sent me, gave me commandment, what I shall speak, and what I shall say.
